Trigonometry
Objectives: Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
Convert angles from degrees to radians and vice versa
Find coterminal angles and use those angles in the unit circle
Locate and draw reference triangles, using the angle in standard position
Solve a right triangle (find all 3 sides and all 3 angles)
Determine the trig functions of a particular angle using the unit circle
Find exact values of trig functions of the reference triangles of multiples of pi/6, pi/4 or pi/3 (finding terminal point)
Solve applications involving right triangles
Use symmetry about the unit circle to find exact trig values
Graph all 6 trig functions on the coordinate plane (and identify zeros, asymptotes, etc.)
Write trigonometric functions based on application information (ferris wheel type, harmonic motion, etc.)
Use Law of Sines and Law of Cosines to solve non-right triangles and their applications
Use inverse trig to evaluate expressions
Trigonometric Identities and Solving Trig Equations
Objectives: Upon completion of the unit, students will be able to:
Simplify trigonometric expressions involving trig identities
Use trig identities to determine the exact value of an expression
Solve trig equations (use trig identities, zero product property, using triangles, inverse trig, etc.)
